A HUNDRED YEARS A HERO,
How Seth Warner Won Wife and Became
Famous.

Famous.
Colonel Seth Warner, OF Vermont, the
famous hero of the Revolutionary war,
was leading fighter for the Hampshire
grants.
These titles were disputed by the State
of New York, and its authorities obtained
an edict of the King of England in their
favor. The settlers were sturg by the
supposed injustice. This state of things
brought Colonel Seth Warner to the
front. With Ethan Allen and others he
actively opposed every effort OF the New
York state authorities to enforce posses
sion, and finally he, with Allen and 9th
ers. were outlawed and price put on
their heads!
To circumvent lew York, it was neces-
sary that some one should 60 into that
State and obtain required information.
Colonel Warner, assuming for safety the
name of "Dr. Howard" undertook this
perilous and romantic journey.
While on his way home hs stopped at a
country inn, where an old gentleman and
daughter were .storm-bound. The father
fell i'll and the daughter called upon Col
onel Warner, who, with his wide knowl-
edge of simple remedies, successfully
treated the "old man." and he finally won
this devoted woman for wife.
Such incidents were not uncommon IN
those years. When the doctor was not
easily reached, months of sickness, and
even life were often saved by some IN
professional friend versed in the use of
simple herbs and roots. The health of
early settlers and their powers of enduT-
ance convince Us that such medicines
did only good and left no poison in the
blooa to work as much injury to the sys-
tenn as would the disease itself.
In time of peace the colonel was in con-
slant demand for his knowledge of sim
leremedies and their power over disease.
But it was left to another of his name of
the present age to give to the public
what was then used with such positive
success.
Warner for over hundred years has
shared with Ethan Allen the admiration
of the American people.
Colonel Seth Warner belongs to fam
lily of wide distinction; no less than eight
members thereof won fame in the regular
practice of medicine.
Looking to the adoption by the people
Of this generation of the old time simple
remedies, his direct descendant, E. III.
Warner, the welI-known proprietor of
Warmers safe cure, for many years has
Deen experimenting with old time roots
and herbs formula and, his search having
been finally rewarded with success, he
gives the world the result. These recipes
and formula in other days accom- plished
great things because they were purely
vegetable and combined simply so as to
cure the disease indicated, without injury
to the system. In harmony with their
old time character, we learn that he pro-
poses to call them Warmers Log Cabin
Remedies, using as mark an old
fashioned American log cabin. We IN
derstand that he intends to put forth a
"Sarsaparilla" for the blood, the sarsapa
rilla itself being but one of number of
simple and effective elements; clog
Cabin Hops and Buchu," general stom-
ach tonic and invigorator; "Log Cabin
Cough and Consumption Remedy"
warmers Log Cabin Scalpine" for the
hair; preparation for that universal
disease catarrh, called "Log Cabin Rose
Cream;" warmers Log Cabin Plasters;''
and ssWarner's Log Cabin Liver Pills."
which are to be used in connection with
other remedies, Or Independently, as re-
CURED.
Warmers safe remedies are already
standards of the most pronounced scien-
tifc value in all parts OF the world, and
we have no doubt the Log Cabin Rene
dies, for the diseases they are intended to
cure, will be of equal merit, for Mr..
Warner has the reputation of connecting
his name with no preparation that is not
meritorious.
